Kings of the Road

On Saturday night, Larry, Amy and I tried out David Craig for Bethesda Restaurant Week. Ever since it opened, I have been dying to go here, but every time we have tried to make a reservation they were already booked. So I was happily surprised when I called last week and got a table [...]

The day has finally come.
Bell’s, a craft brewery from Michigan, has long been one of our favorite breweries, but the beer is only available in the Midwest. (rumor has it that Larry Bell, the owner, doesn’t want to sacrifice the quality of his beer in shipments across such long distances.) A few months ago, we [...]

We woke up extremely early for a Saturday morning to go to the Kennedy Center to pick up tickets for the Sufjan Stevens show. Sufjan Stevens, an awesome indie-rock musician, is coming to the Kennedy Center on February 5 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of free concerts on the Millennium Stage. So naturally, they were [...]

We spent about six hours at the Rock Bottom today, watching the Bears win, and then watching the first part of the Colts game. We left at half time to watch the rest of the game at home because our butts were starting to hurt. It was tense evening, with lots of emotional ups and [...]

We ate dinner at Mark’s Duck House in Falls Church, Virginia on Saturday night with our friends, “Steve” and “Peggy” (names changed to protect their identities.) This is an authentic Chinese restaurant, and they are known for their Peking Duck. It’s tucked away in the corner of strip mall off of Route 50, in between [...]

We ate this for dinner:

Cajun-style shrimp, cheddar grits and sugar snap peas. Simple (I think, although I’ve never made it) and delicious. And Larry’s grits are way better than the Cracker Barrel’s grits. The key to good grits is making them al dente, not too mushy and not too watery.
Also, check out this cool picture [...]

I got a haircut last week. This isn’t the best picture of me–I’ve got sort of a fake smile, I’m wearing sort of dorky clothes (I took this picture before work one day this week), I’ve got bags under my eyes…but you get the idea. When I’m feeling prettier I will take another picture.

(P.S.) Name [...]

Here it is, folks: the much awaited, highly anticipated dancing video. Enjoy.

Larry and I live in Bethesda, one of the safest neighborhoods in the D.C. area. So when I heard about a 24-year old woman being sexually assaulted in an alley less than a block from my house, it made me queasy.
Police say that “the attack was most likely an isolated incident.” You just don’t expect [...]

Larry and I celebrated our first anniversary at L’Auberge Chez Francois. As I mentioned in my previous post, it was voted “Most Romantic” and “Best Special Occasion” restaurant by the Washingtonian, so we thought it would be a good choice for our own special dinner.
Well, I think the caveat to those awards should have been [...]
